Here’s the video of Ellison’s comments on Haiti and introduction of Marshall:

“From a spiritual standpoint, we think the Dr. Robertson was on target about Haiti, in the past, with voodoo. And we believe in the Bible that the practice of voodoo is a sin, and what caused the nation to suffer. Those who read the Bible and study the history know that what Dr. Robertson said was the truth.”

It is not an accident that Marshall and Ellison echoed one another and Pat Robertson. They all believe that God exacts vengeance on those who do not follow their peculiar and ultraconservative interpretation of the Bible.

Ellison may like to believe that Robertson’s comments merely “angered a lot of the so-called, in my opinion, liberals.” But the truth is that Americans overwhelmingly reject such views, just as they reject Marshall’s views on disabled children and abortion – including a not-so-liberal Governor named Bob McConnell.
